The Argentine regulator ENACOM has published a resolution assigning the 2300–2400 MHz band for private mobile wireless broadband systems, with licenses valid for 10 years.
Key highlights:
- Spectrum can be used for indoor and outdoor deployments, but outdoor use is restricted to company property or defined operational areas.
- Different fee structures apply depending on whether deployments are indoor, outdoor, or both.
- If multiple applicants request spectrum in the same area, a competitive bidding process may take place.
- The available 50–60 MHz bandwidth falls short of the 3GPP’s recommended 80 MHz, which may limit 5G speeds.
- Target sectors: mining, oil & gas, agribusiness, automotive, construction, ports, airports, roads, and railways—particularly large enterprises with strong financial capacity.
- Companies may choose to deploy a fully private network or partner with existing operators (e.g., Movistar or Telecom) depending on size and financial strategy.
Expected impact: This measure paves the way for the expansion of private 5G networks in Argentina, boosting digital transformation in critical industries and unlocking new opportunities for connectivity innovation.
